Notice of Motion regarding Safe Shelter of Residents

 

Moved by Councillor Holloway Wadhwani and Seconded by Deputy Mayor Attridge


Whereas the need for shelter in Northumberland County exceeds current capacity of shelter spaces; and


Whereas the winter warming room located in Cobourg to serve all residents of Northumberland experiencing homeless is closing for the season; and


Whereas as a result a greater number of Port Hope citizens will once again be left without safe, accessible shelter; and


Whereas an Ontario Superior Court Judgement released on January 27 by Justice Michael J. Valente ruled that evicting individuals experiencing homelessness from temporary shelter, including tents, where no other shelter option is made available, is a violation of the Charter of Rights and Freedom’s Section 7 right to life, liberty and security;


Now therefore be it resolved that the Municipality of Port Hope respects the right to safe shelter of all residents and shall uphold the rights of residents experiencing homelessness to shelter in peace in our community; and


Further be it resolved that a copy of this motion be sent to Northumberland County Council and all Northumberland County lower-tier municipalities for support.
